The main thing from Putin's interview to Pavel Zarubin:
▪️About depleted uranium shells for Ukraine:
Shells with such uranium do not belong to the category of weapons of mass destruction, but they generate radiation dust and pollute crop areas. Russia has something to answer - we have hundreds of thousands of such shells, but so far we have not used them.
▪️On tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus:
We agreed, without violating international obligations, to deploy tactical nuclear weapons in Belarus. On July 1, the construction of a storage facility for it will be completed there. This is not unusual - the United States has been deploying nuclear weapons in NATO countries for a long time.
▪️About the talks with Xi Jinping:
The leader of China is well prepared, it was interesting to talk with him, he knows the details about his country and the world economy. Xi Jinping paid much attention to Beijing's peace plan for Ukraine. But the main focus of the talks was on the economy.
▪️About the terrorist attacks on Nord Stream:
The president fully agrees with the conclusions of journalist Seymour Hersh about the involvement of the US intelligence services. Denmark responded in a streamlined way to Russia about a joint survey of the Nord Stream lines, that it does not need help, and even now this survey no longer makes sense
▪️About analogies between pension reforms in France and Russia:
In Russia, all preferential early retirement regimes have been preserved, but not in France, citizens there consider this approach to be excessively harsh. But the protests in France are an internal affair of this country.
